I started with a simple 5.5 x 4.25 card stock base and added DP from Our Daily Bread Designs' Blooming Garden Paper Collection. I colored the image with Copics after stamping it on Copic compatible paper. This image is perfect for fussy cutting (exactly what I did) before placing on a doily die (Our Daily Bread Designs' Doily Die.) Both layers have dimensional foam underneath for added dimension. I added a simple white seam binding bow before placing the sentiment.

I stamped my image and colored it lightly with a soft gray (basically to define the image.) I stamped it again on some fun dotted paper from Our Daily Bread Designs' Blushing Rose Paper Collection. I paper pieced Mr. Rabbit's ears, belly and paw pads. I used a soft blue and gray ink to lightly sponge the sky background. I used a coordinating design from the paper collection and ODBD's Vintage Labels Die to cut a window for my design from coordinating paper. The grass and egg dies were so easy to use and were perfect for using up remaining paper scraps. I decided to pull out another die from ODBD (Pennant Dies) to create a darling flag and flagpole to display my sentiment.

Wow, Lori! Love them both! Your pansies are gorgeous....love how they match the ODBD paper! LOVE your paper piecing on the 2nd and how you cleverly placed the egg die to cut out the scripture from the Blushing Rose pattern. Fabulous job on both!! HUGS!!
